Maryland @ Illinois (Fri)

[hawkandroll]

Peters is 7/19 passing? Do they have enough fans to cause a QB controversy?

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Nebby absolutely blows losing to this Illinois team

 

[ichawk24]

Both teams are not looking very good. A bad pick for a prime time game.

Maryland vs. Illinois is the perfect Friday night sacrificial lamb.

 

[BirdistheWord]

Nebby absolutely blows losing to this Illinois team

Yeah, but how many yards did they have?

 

[JRHawk2003]

This is a pillow fight for sure.

 

[BubsFinn]

Nice coverage, Fox.

 

[QChawks]

This would be a better basketball game

 

[hawkeyekid]

Ferentz vs. Locksley might be the most lopsided coaching matchup in the history of college football.

How that guy is a head coach is beyond me.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

If it wasn't early in the season, I'd turn this garbage off.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That freshman RB for Illinois looks pretty good though. Really strong and follows his blockers.

 

[hawkeyekid]

Is BB going to get fancy or just keep pounding the ball?

 

[StormHawk42]

Haha that was wild

 

[hawkeyekid]

Illinois is going to win if they just keep running the ball. Maryland's D looks bad against the run.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

This is a pillow fight for sure.

LOL

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Soo... If Illinois holds on, they are alone at #1 in the B1G West at 2-0 .

Next game is against Purdue, so maybe 3-0.

Then schedule gets MUCH harder. Finishing the year with Wisc, PSU, MN, Rutgers, MN, IA, NW.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Is BB going to get fancy or just keep pounding the ball?

He knows about pounds

 

[BBHawk]

Maryland is not the offensive juggernaut some thought they were.

 

[BioHawk]

If it wasn't early in the season, I'd turn this garbage off.

Or Friday night.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I just hope that Maryland plays like this against us (BAU means they won't...........)

 

[Allaroundfan]

MD QB had a typical long pass that he and his brother seem to do well that looked like TD, but called back due to penalty. But the kind of throw we’ll want to look out for. But overall MD looking more manageable than touted… (do hope Illini don’t let him do that again in last 4:00)

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

This will go to OT.

 

[Fan In Black]

I was worried about a trap game with Maryland. not anymore

 

[Allaroundfan]

This will go to OT.

If so, MD wins.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hindsight....but should Bert have gone for it on 4th and 1 on the Maryland 40? Power running team that you want to be.... should get 1 yard. Punted to the 15 and Maryland moved the ball with ease

 

[QChawks]

Peters and Petras have a lot in common

 

[Fan In Black]

maybe not all games need to be televised? Just saying.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Peters and Petras have a lot in common

Petras is much better. Peters is hot garbage

 

[Fan In Black]

Tyler Linderbaum would lead all centers in YAC if they were eligible. For real.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

At least Petras isn't the worst qb in the BIG. Peters is awful

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Peters with the completed pass to his center. 🤣

 

[QChawks]

What a shitshow drive 😆

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Illinois looking to get this game over in regulation.... By giving the game away

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Well Fat Bret.... good try

 

[Allaroundfan]

Well MD will win. Just don’t want to see a drive like that last TD when we play them. But think our D will cause them problems….

 

[BubsFinn]

I think our defense is going to be fine when we play either of these teams.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Illinois is bad bad bad.....Maryland about the same.....and Scott Frost on the bottom of this steaming pile.

 

[BubsFinn]

My God, how bad must Nebraska be?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

This is a complete meltdown by Illinois.

I still go back to Illinois NOT going for 4th and 1, up 7pts, on Maryland 40. Teams need to go for 4th and 1 more often

 

[Fan In Black]

naming one kid Tua and the other Taulia is like name one kid Jonathen and the next kid John.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Welp. We are alone at #1 in the B1G West
